Comfortable seats are important and I have to say that the seats in our 2012 model are more comfortable than any other car we have owned in recent years, including the new VW Polo.
Depending on your budget you may like to have a chat with Peter Ballard (PJB on TM) about his Suplex suspension systems. Your wife will thank you. I am sure he or perhaps someone nearer to you would be happy to take you for a run in a Suplex equiped car.
